Meanwhile, Kundra, the former co-owner of Rajasthan Royals, have expressed his disappointment on the verdict on Twitter. He said that he is shocked and disappointed with the verdict.

Justice Lodha told the media that Kundra forgot that betting is illegal in India unlike England. Thus he has caused harm to the image of BCCI and a tournament like IPL. Thus he will be suspended from participating in any cricket related activities in India for life.
This situation left the players of the franchises in doubt about their future. BCCI is yet to announce anything on this matter, but they will soon be holding a general body meeting. As there are big players involved with the two franchises including the likes of MS Dhoni, Steve Smith, Ajinkya Rahane and others, BCCI is expected to come up with a solution to this problem soon.
